Utherworlds: The Art of Philip Straub Available for Pre-order!

Hello everyone,

It's not often I get to say this, but we're very excited to be announcing a project that has been almost six years in the making. Philip Straub's Utherworlds fantasy graphic novel is available to pre-order today, and as a thank you to early purchasers you'll either receive the complete, unreleased Utherworlds soundtrack, or two tracks from the soundtrack.

Utherworlds weighs in at a huge 10" x 15" making it the biggest Ballistic Publishing book so far. Our goal heading into this project was to make a highly collectable book from the content and page design right through to the cover. I'd encourage you to have a look at the book preview to get a feel for how almost every inch of the book has been painted or illustrated for the most impact.




Exclusive Utherworlds soundtrack offer:
The first 20 buyers of Utherworlds will become the first people in the world to hear the Utherworlds soundtrack by composer Alan Hewitt, with a free download of the complete album on purchase. The next 200 buyers of Utherworlds will receive an alternate track and the Utherworlds Theme from the soundtrack which will be released on Amazon.com.




Expanding the Utherworlds universe
To complement the book, an Utherworlds web site adds another dimension to Phil Straub's Utherworlds universe with animations bringing the languages of hope and fear to life, and providing a blog and online forums to further develop the Utherworlds story beyond the book.


This has been a huge project for all involved, and I'd like to thank Philip and his team, and the whole Ballistic team for raising the bar on what we're able to do.
